On its waterfront is the Caes Pharoux landing stage, the Nictheroy ferry slips, and the landing stages of the boats for Paqueta, Theresopolis and the Cantagallo railway station of Sant’Anna. The “Largo de S.

It contains a small garden in which is a statue of José Bonifacio de Andrada e Silva, erected in 1872.
